Description
Book SynopsisJason Elliot lives in London. His is the author of
An Unexpected Light: Travels in Afghanistan and
Mirrors of the Unseen: Journeys in Iran.
Trade Review'What raises the book to the level of a classic is its intensely personal meditation on the magic of unplanned adventure, of the pain and pleasure of pushing into the unknown. The whole book, like Elliot’s travels themselves, operated on this heightened level. * The Times *
Jason Elliot is that rare traveller who surrenders himself to people and places and this tale is a many-layered reconstruction of his experience . . . I am sure this book will soon be among the classics of travel’ -- Doris Lessing
‘
An Unexpected Light is often unexpectedly funny and constantly perceptive, but it is also profound’ * New York Times *
